From the Seascale Primary School
Thank you for visiting Seascale Primary School. Our school is a joyful place to be. In order to deliver the greatest education we are capable of, we all collaborate effectively as a team. Children should get a primary education that meets the following criteria: high standards of excellence, quality, depth of experience, and a sense of community. We work hard to create a caring environment where every kid can flourish and mature into confident, responsible, and highly talented individuals. Our institution strives to be inclusive. This implies that our kids must grow up with equal access to opportunities. We make this a reality through the attention we pay to the different groups of children within our school: girls and boys; minority ethnic and faith groups; children who need support to learn English as an additional language; children with special educational needs; gifted and talented children; any children who are at risk of disaffection or exclusion. We think family schools are important because they allow siblings to learn together. We take great satisfaction in the close relationship that exists between parents, students, teachers, administrators, governors, and the neighbourhood. In an environment where everyone's rights and feelings are respected, we strive to cultivate the greatest standards of conduct and self-discipline.
